Dress however you please.
Call yourself whatever you like.
Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you.
Live your best life in peace and security.
But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?

Yes!!!

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 19/12/2019 13:04

Brilliant! I thought she’d never find the courage to speak out after the last attack from the TRAs. Let’s hope she doesn’t back down on this one.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 19/12/2019 13:05

It's been a long time coming, but YAY!

Poota · 19/12/2019 13:05

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!

You bloody beauty JK. We all knew it, they all knew it, and this is classy.

God , I was about to go into seclusion, but this has lifted my head.

This is great, isn't it? I hope she coughs up some money.
She'll get a lot of grief, but if anyone can ride it out...

Someone on Twitter said thee had been an anonymous £10k donation, so....

About bloody time! The TRA tantrums are going to be epic. I wonder how long it will take for someone to suggest literally burning books.

(Too late, kids, you've already paid for them and aren't getting a refund.)

Bloody hell, I'm sobbing.

Campervan69 · 19/12/2019 13:08

Joyous!

breakfastpizza · 19/12/2019 13:08

AHHHHHHHHH! Hopefully this will encourage other celebs to who feel similar to 'come out'.

Binterested · 19/12/2019 13:08

Fucking awesome.

EverardDigby · 19/12/2019 13:09

Excellent, so pleased to see this - she's also put her money where her mouth is in supporting projects for women and girls, what a star!

ARoombaOfOnesOwn · 19/12/2019 13:09

Let’s hope she doesn’t back down...

MurderOfGoths · 19/12/2019 13:09

This is so good to see

GeordieTerf · 19/12/2019 13:10

This is amazing! I’m so happy for Maya. Smile

SO, so pleased to see JK tweet this Star Star Star

Sexnotgender · 19/12/2019 13:11

Fucking yes!!!

I knew it, love JK.

BentBastard · 19/12/2019 13:11

I wonder if watching other children's authors turn on the lovely Rachel Rooney has been a factor in her "coming out".

NellieEllie · 19/12/2019 13:11

Just great to see. Love ya JK. Hope others follow suit.

PegasusReturns · 19/12/2019 13:13

I hope more influential women will be encouraged to speak out

PorpentinaScamander · 19/12/2019 13:14

I love her so much. Almost as much as my husband that she created ( he's not imaginary Grin)

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 19/12/2019 13:14

That is more than I ever dreamed of from her. This is seriously brave.

T0tallyFuckedUpFamily · 19/12/2019 13:15

Blimey. The TRAs/MRAs are on full, mouth foaming attack now. The last few tweets from the avatar brigade are so angry I can almost feel the spit from here. Hold on tight Jk, it’s going to be a bumpy ride, but if a brave woman like Maya can keep going, so can you. The knowledge that you’re helping protect women and girls will keep you going. Flowers
